The life we always wanted (2)

Chapter fourteen: Hiding the storybook

Emma's POV

I held Killian's hand the whole journey to Rumple's castle. The storybook sat on my lap and I looked down at it. I let go of Killian's hand and opened it up at the first page. Once upon a time... Those words always amazed me as a child. I never thought any of this was even a thing. "Emma, you alright love. I know this must be a bit much" Killian asks. "Yeah, just going to miss this book that's all. Its because of this book that I actually was able to meet my parents and break the curse." I said. He smiles at me. "Aye, this book has done an awful lot for this family." He said. "And now we are technically throwing it away like it means nothing." I said. "Hey, one day we will be able to bring it out of the vault. A day when Freya and Liam understand. For now this is the safest option." Killian says. I nod and kiss him. The carriage stopped and I looked out the window and saw rumples castle. I took a deep breath and opened the carriage door.

We knocked on the big doors and Belle opened the door. "Hey Emma, Killian. How can I help you both?" She asked. "Umm, could we come in?" I asked. "Sure" she said as she steppes back and opened the door more. I smiled at her and me and Killian walked in. "So, how are the twins? Can't believe its been a month since you had them." Belle asked. "They are amazing, better than we could be hoped for" Killian replied. "Umm, Belle. Rumple still has that vault doesn't he?" I asked. "What vault? The dark one! I'm sure he does" she says looking startled. "Yes that one, we want to hide the storybook in it if he wouldn't mind." I said. "Umm, I'm sure he wouldn't. I'll go get him for you." Belle explains as she walked into a room.

A few minutes later she came back with Rumple. "So you want to hide the storybook?" He asked. "Yes, there's a valid reason, but its sort of confidential" I said. "Just please, send it into the vault. It needs to be hidden." I asked. "Okay, if it means so much for it to be hidden I shall." He replied.

He guided me down a long set of stairs and told Killian to wait behind. "Your filled with light magic, so it should let you in." Rumple explains as he opens the vault door. "Oh okay." I say. I step towards the door and stretch my hand in it. All of a sudden a shock of magic hits my hand. "Ouch, was it went to do that?" I asked rubbing my hand. "Ahh, just try it again." Rumple tells me. I nod and tried again This time letting me in.

I stood in the vault which was poorly lit by two small candles. I saw a safe in which was open. I placed the storybook inside and set the code. I then sealed it with magic and walked slowly back out of the vault. "Excellent, now you need to seal the vault so no one can enter it." Rumple says. "Why me? Can't you do it?" I asked. "Unfortunately when you took the darkness out of me all my magic was taken too so I don't have my magic anymore." He replied. "Oh, umm fine I'll do it." I said shaky. I wiped my hand over the door and it sealed over with gold swirls over the lock. "Well done, now no one shall get that storybook." Rumple says. I smile at him and we walk back up the stairs to find Killian and Belle talking.

"Hey, did you do it?" Killian asks. "Yep, that book should be unreachable from anyone." I said as I hugged him. "Well, we should get going. The nanny doesn't like minding the twins for long." Killian's says. I hug Belle goodbye and we walk back out to our carriage.

Killian's POV

In the carriage Emma was staring down at her hand. "Your hand is burnt Emma! What happened?!" I asked concerned. "Nothing, its nothing seriously." She whispered. "That burn is definitely not 'nothing' what happened?!!" I repeated. "The vault, it only let's people with the lightest magic in. I put my hand it and it shocked it. It wouldn't let me in at first, but then it let me in the next try." She said. "What does that mean? You don't have light magic? Because last time I checked you were the owner of the lightest magic Emma." I said. "I don't know what it means, but its okay I did get in. It just didn't let me the first time." Emma explained. "Come here." I said pulling her towards me. She rested her head on my shoulder and I grabbed her hand. "I love you so much Swan. Never forget that." I said. "I love you too Killian." Emma replied.
